Abstract
In present paper we investigate the transverse dynamics of frequency-modulated cw laser beam propagated in resonance conditions. At modulation periods comparable with the atomic relaxation times the time dependence of the output intensity exhibits the manifestations of resonance self-action effects. The influence of resonance self-induced lens and aperture on cw laser beam transverse profile and the boundary conditions of self-action are analyzed by numerical simulation.
